Went to a special cabaret event on a Sunday afternoon Fulta & Friends produced by Golden Gravy. A really fun show, great talent, funny drag, super friendly staff. First time in the bar at the center and a perfect space for this size show.

We attended the opera play, Frankenstein, last night and it was good. Kudos to the set designer. The lights, layout of the space, and making it work for a ton of "make believe" areas throughout the play were fantastic. Very nice evening, with an after party of champagne and desserts.

A well maintained theatre with great views from all seats. The friendly, courteous staff makes every visit enjoyable. Highly recommended if you're in the Tucson area and enjoy live performances.

Had the pleasure of enjoying a great evening at the Temple of Music and Arts. The Temple of Music and Arts is a beautiful 1927 theatre that's been fully refurbished. Janos is the the restaurant where you can enjoy a great meal before enjoying unique and remarkable theatre entertainment. Janos has a bar and they serve a play themed meal at every performance. This restaurant is unique and the meals are great. The staff amazing. Friendly, welcoming. The menu tonight was full of excellent choices of salads, polenta, maple pork or chimichurri chicken Desert is part of the meal it also varies. Tonight there was a chocolate flourless brownie, macaroons and pound cake. Meal cost includes your choice or a bit of everything. The theatre itself has great acoustics, comfortable seats and not a bad seat in the house. Anywhere is a great seat. Enjoy a great Tucson evening before the performance by enjoying a drink in the beautiful courtyard. Make an evening of it and enjoy all this place has to offer. A wonderful evening in a great setting.

Recently I took my daughter here to see a preview showing of the Music Man as part of a Yelp Elite event. We had a great time! We sat in the middle of the balcony and had a great view of the stage. I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. The production value was excellent with great sets and an amazing cast. Even though it didn't end till 10p, way after her bedtime my daughter was transfixed and is already asking when we can see another musical. We've enjoyed singing the songs to each other and hope to watch the movie over winter break. As others have mentioned there is a lovely courtyard in front of the theatre. The concession accepted credit card so we split a fizzy water and a bag of chips. There's also an attached restaurant that looked pretty fancy. You can pay $5 to park in a lot next to the theatre, but for an evening show there are plenty of free options in the surrounding area. All in all a great theatre and I look forward to seeing another show there soon.

What a beautiful venue. There are nice shops. Gallery space. Eat and greet. Then go into the theatre and enjoy wonderful acoustics! There is leg room in the theatre. A real bonus for me! This location allows you the opportunity to socialize or dine prior to an event or after an event! It is close to many restaurants and bars.

I used to be a fan of the theater and I still am. It just took having an opportunity present itself to remind me how magical a play can be. I guess with the hectic nature of life, I've forgotten what it's like to experience something special (not a blockbuster movie); a work of art. Last weekend, I had the pleasure of attending a performance of "Things I Know to Be True". I hadn't been to this venue but it is close to my house; I knew what a beautiful spot it is. I arrived to a scene full of light and movement as the audience prepared for the show. The courtyard was gorgeous; full of seating and included a small bar for pre-show libations. I, on the other hand, went to Janos at the Temple. I was treated to a huge plate of delicious food including Chimichurri Chicken, Maple Pork, Creamy Polenta and Beet Salad. I ate so much had absolutely no room for the awesome looking Desserts.Now it's show time. My seat was just where I like it; center, front Balcony. The play begins and engages me from the start. It's a tale of a family steeped in tradition, forced to deal with modern problems (some very serious). But the hook of this play is that there are very funny scenes juxtaposed with deep drama. This keeps the viewer incredibly engaged as you're waiting for, "what could happen next?"I wouldn't have had a chance to experience "Things I Know to Be True" if it wasn't for the Temple of Music and Art. I would highly recommend looking at their calendar to find something that you are curious about or can relate to.There's a fantastic world out there,Bryan

Love the court yard! I came for the show, American Merichi, and they had a bar and a live Merichi band. Nice lighting and a chill vibe. They have a restaurant, Janos at the Temple, and they serve food that fits the theme of the show. Buffet style and I enjoyed the selection of the night I went. Windows that look out to the street and the court yard.

Very nice venue with friendly and helpful staff. Tickets were ready at Will Call and easy to access. The bistro sold water, soda, wine, and beer for patrons. They also sold small snacks and sandwiches before the show played. We had the pleasure of watching The Diary of Anne Franke performance, it was well set up and accurate to the book. Really had a great time here. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. They had a small history type museum in the lobby for the WW2 timelines and stuff about the time period. Will most definitely return for another show here. The legroom was awesome on the bottom floor M23/M24

We are back tonight for Outside Mullingar. This continues to be our favorite venue in Tucson for theatre!! We love the soup, salad and sandwiches from Barrio Baking Company that are available in the lounge next to the theatre. The patio area is lovely and tonight there was live music. We will continue to be season ticket holders!
